    Hi  Kartik77,
    Can you please try to change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy. Then try to install the kali Linux. I think that should work.

    edit the "install in graphical mode" mode option by pressing  "e" and after "splash" type "acpi=noirq pci=noacpi ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2" .(without qoutes) This should remove your black screen and enter the installation of " kali linux".

    ps: if you want to try any other modes ,this code should work on them also

    Hi Nitrofreak. I have an Acer Aspire one 1-431  runnin celeron. Updated bios, and attempted what you said but not trying to install, using in persistence mode. Which works on other machines. Would you have any other suggestions? You seem to be the most knowledgeable in this topic from my research. After boot get ACPI errors ACPI bios error and efi memmap not enabled. 
    Thank you for your time
